Untitled[edit]

I don't believe Alomar was forced to donate as the article states, but rather volunteered the money himself. Can anyone shed some light on this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.116.54.141 (talk) 01:33, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What is the support for the "personality disorder" section under Trivia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.72.3.64 (talk) 06:01, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Groin injury[edit]

While it may seem like an amusing anecdote to include, isn't kind of undue to mention it? Why does it matter that a game was paused because a ball hit him in the groin? I'm going to take the liberty of deleting it, but discuss if you disagree. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 20:17, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree that it doesn't belong. AutomaticStrikeout (talk) 20:31, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bryce Harper ejection[edit]

As we can see from [1] and [2], there is some disagreement over whether or not the following content should be included:

On May 5, 2013, Hirschbeck controversially ejected Bryce Harper when Harper dropped his equipment on the ground after Hirschbeck determined that Harper had engaged in a strike-three check-swing. ^[1]

I am opening this discussion to (hopefully) peacefully resolve the disagreement. AutomaticStrikeout (T • C • Sign AAPT) 21:00, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy is not demonstrated in the text as it appeared. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 17:56, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. However, the ejection was controversial, although it is not demonstrated, as you noted. AutomaticStrikeout (T • C • Sign AAPT) 19:29, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
